Who are you?
Posted 05-30-2008 at 02:11 AM by SarahNSH
I swear that I saw a guy that I knew from before, that I had run into and actually got along with really well in my class. I was eating and dancing around in my seat, as I normally do, and then I looked up and there he was. Right there looking at me, and I was staring at him, and then just after that instant he turns and the moment is broken. And I'm left wondering to myself... was that him? It sure did look like him, and I'm mixed with just letting that moment slip by and going up to him to ask if he was who I thought he was.
Yet, I didn't, I just didn't. I don't think he wanted to talk to me, I think that he wanted nothing to do with me... there's something that I can just read people's body language really well. He looked like his face was bright red, he had his back facing toward me, and was doing quick glances back and I heard him say, "Why is she here?"
Which, he said to someone who was standing by him. And I got something to get another glance but he wouldn't dare look me in the eye. And I wonder if I should have asked if he knew me but I just read that he wouldn't want to talk to me.
It was like seeing a ghost though, a figurtive shot right through. It was with that one stimulus my mind and body just went "whoa, wait, what, who, is that?"
I think it was a better idea to leave it be. I think he was real uncomfortable meeting me again and I'm not going to make a fool out of myself with the whole thing. I was really tired too and out of it as well so that wouldn't help me with making coherent sentences or conversation... and I don't even know what the point of conversation would be. But, that was the ghost experience for me.

how interesting sarah, thats happened to me a couple times in life,
in high school people can be so fickle, and I really don't understand to this dayu why someone would be your friend only in certain instances, then I learned your family is your friend every moment, thats very important to know so people that are shady like that don't realy hurt you |

Hello erik!
Yeah, highschool does seem to be quite fickle and the thing is both he and I were past that whole high school age so it seemed like we could maybe act more like adults. I wanted to but I can generally read people pretty well and it didn't seem like he wanted anything to do with me and kinda like he was hiding from me in a way. I depend upon my family for everything... I love them dearly and they'll be there for me in I need them to. So, I definitely agree with you with what you say about family, very true! Anywho, thank you for stopping by and commenting! |

Hi Sarah: I wonder if you somehow hurt him in high school, you know, brushed him off or something, and he remembered...you know how some things get magnified when you are that age...THEN it would have added insult to injury if you walked up to him and say "Hey, do I know you?" Maybe he would have felt worse...but who knows...it's strange how people hold on to some things for life.

Well, actually I met him in college and there is much more to it and I can understand why he might be indifferent/not wanting to speak to me. But, I really don't have any ill feelings toward him but I totally got that vibe of, "What are you doing here? I don't want anything to do with you..." It was just really weird. I agree though, it probably wold have been insult to injury if I approached him unsure it was him and confronted him.
Anywho, it's definitely strange how some people hold onto things for life. I'm trying to learn how to not do that but it can be really hard for some things. Thanks for commenting! |

Hmmm - I had such a thing happen to me as well - except I was the one who ignored Dude - and I think it was more of I didn't know what to say to him and was a bit shy (yes I can be shy at times...) --- I often think about it actually and if I had it to do over - I would definitely talk to him because he was so cute back in school and he was sexy-fine the last time I saw him - would be interesting to rekindle some of the things we had started back in grade school
 Anyway - perhaps that's the vybe you got from him SARAH - maybe he just didn't know what to say so didn't say much of anything at all... Jacquii. |

Yeah, I don't know quite what to do when I met people that I know. I just get at a loss at what to say so I normally let them approach me. I can believe you being shy though, so am I, and people who know me just can't ever picture me being shy. I am definitely very shy when it comes to the opposite sex though but I've gotten a lot more confedient especially because of the occupation I'm going into.
I guess so, maybe it was that, it was just weird. It was like he saw me looking at him and then immediately hid in the kitchen (it was a restaurant I went to that I saw him). I went to get a cookie at the register to get a better look at him and his face looked like it was flushed (like he was embarrassed) and I definitely heard him say the, "What is she doing here?" to one of the guys who was working. He was doing these quick glances back at me but not fully looking at me like he did before. Well, if somehow our paths cross again I'll say something. Even if I still kind of get that vybe maybe he just doesn't know what to say and I really liked hanging out with him in class. I think of myself as being pretty good at reading people but you can't always get it right so why not try to talk to him? The worst thing he can do is brush me off and at least I tried if he does that, right? Anywho, thanks for your comment! I was quite baffled by it to say the least. |

Yeah... That's what I always tell myself - Especially when asking a question of someone- I always have to think: "It never hurts to ask - so why not ask anyway? The worst he can can do is say none of your business"
 So that same type of attitude can be applied to most anything really, and keeping that motif in the back of your mind can really be a crutch of sorts. It can give you the necessary courage to do the due, even if you are a little shy about it. And believe me - It works  Jacquii. |
